<b>Description(env close)</b>
<p>Close the Berkeley DB environment, freeing any allocated resources and closing
any underlying subsystems.</p>
<p>This does not imply closing any databases that were opened in the
environment.</p>
<p>Where the environment was initialized with the <b>-txn</b> option,
calling <i>env</i> <b>close</b> does not release any locks still held by the
closing process, providing functionality for long-lived locks.</p>
<p>After <i>env</i> <b>close</b> has been called the <b>env</b> handle may not be
accessed again.</p>
<p>The <i>env</i> <b>close</b> command returns 0 on success, and in the case of error, a Tcl error
is thrown.</p>
